leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr.

Did they just accidentally admit that they intend to kill him?

I think the title of martyr can be applied to a prisoner as well. Usually a prisoner that isn’t allowed to return after his time is served. So even if they don’t kill him, the longer he’s held, the more of a martyr he is.

To be martyred literally means to be killed.

Why lie?

Good point. I guess it’s really suffering or sacrificing for a cause that makes someone a martyr. Still though, being self aware that what you are doing is making someone into a martyr for the general public and then continuing to do it is grim as hell.
